00:00Oh my god, you're so short. Like, ridiculously short.
00:03Thanks?
00:05Wait, is that your Porsche?
00:08Yeah, it is.
00:09Okay, fine. We can do this.
00:12But you better be taking me to a really expensive restaurant or else we're gonna have an issue.
00:16Okay.
00:23So, where did you grow up?
00:25Huh?
00:26I was just asking where you grew up.
00:28Ew, why?
00:30Because I'm just trying to get to know you.
00:32It's pretty standard first date talk.
00:34Yeah, well, it's boring and I don't do boring.
00:39Ugh, and I don't do cheap.
00:41How much did that bottle of wine cost?
00:43We need a more expensive one.
00:45Waiter!
00:46Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:47Oh my god, this is a nightmare.
00:49Oh, they didn't see me, did they?
00:51Oh, why? You know them?
00:53No way!
00:54Brittany!
00:56What are you doing here?
00:58Me?
01:00Yeah.
01:01I, um, I'm on a business meeting with my manager.
01:06You know how it is, the grind never stops.
01:09That sounds super boring.
01:11We're taking my cousin Luke out on the town.
01:16You're Amber's cousin?
01:18Amber didn't tell me she had such gorgeous friends.
01:22Guess she's been hiding them.
01:24Oh, aren't you the charmer?
01:27Can't help it when you're around such beauty.
01:29Oh, looks like our table's finally ready.
01:31After you're done with your lame business meeting, you should join us, Britt.
01:35Yeah, you really should.
01:37I think you're the perfect person to show me all the hot spots in town.
01:41Well, actually, we're-
01:42I would love to.
01:43Um, I'll be over there in a few minutes.
01:45Just, uh, save me a seat.
01:47Right next to me.
01:52What was that?
01:53What?
01:54That.
01:55You were flirting with that guy right in front of me.
01:58So?
01:59So?
02:00We're on a date.
02:01Oh, please.
02:02I mean, do you blame me?
02:04Look at him.
02:05He's an Adonis.
02:07Tall, dark, and handsome.
02:09Whereas you are not.
02:13Come on.
02:14Did you really expect someone like me to go on a date with someone like you?
02:18What's that supposed to mean?
02:19It means you're too short, okay?
02:23I need a real man.
02:25Someone who can reach the top shelf, not who is the same size as a fifth grader.
02:29I thought you liked me.
02:31Please.
02:32I have standards.
02:34I mean, I don't want to bend over to kiss the guy that I'm with.
02:37Gross.
02:39You know, all that external stuff fades.
02:42And what really, truly matters is what's on the inside.
02:45And that's the stuff that lasts.
02:47You know that's only something ugly people tell themselves to make them feel better.
02:53Yeah.
02:56Yeah.
03:00Goodbye, Brittany.
03:03I really, really hope you find what you're looking for.
03:11Hey!
03:12Look who's here!
03:13When Luke asked Brittany on a date, she couldn't say yes fast enough.
03:20Luke was everything she knew she deserved in a man.
03:24Tall, handsome, and rich.
03:27At first, things were fantastic.
03:31Or so Brittany thought.
03:39Until she showed up at Luke's place one night to surprise him.
03:47Turns out, Luke was anything but loyal.
03:50But Brittany wasn't ready to give up on finding her perfect man.
03:56She kept going on dates with tall, handsome, rich men.
04:02But each one ended in heartbreak.
04:06And betrayal.
04:07Thank you for taking me here.
04:10I love this restaurant.
04:11Mm-hmm.
04:12Uh, don't mention it.
04:14So, you said you were a lawyer?
04:18What kind of law do you practice?
04:21I work in arbitration.
04:23Oh.
04:24Yeah.
04:25Okay.
04:26Excuse me.
04:33I'm over here.
04:37You know what?
04:38This isn't going to work.
04:39What?
04:40Why not?
04:41Because look at you.
04:44And look at me.
04:45You're an eight.
04:47Maybe nine.
04:48With good lighting.
04:50And a guy like me, I only date tens.
04:54Wait, wait, wait a second.
04:56You didn't even give me a chance.
04:59I could make you really happy.
05:01You know what would make me really happy?
05:05If you look like your tinned bitches.
05:07I look like them.
05:09Not without a filter, sweetheart.
05:19Are you okay?
05:20Oh God, it's you.
05:22No, I'm not okay.
05:24Dated in this town is the worst.
05:26No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to find a decent guy.
05:31Well, let me ask you.
05:32What are you really looking for in a man?
05:35Nothing crazy.
05:36I swear.
05:37I'm not even that picky.
05:38I just want a guy who's tall, handsome, and makes at least six figures.
05:42Those are just physical attributes.
05:45Or financial.
05:46They aren't what makes a man.
05:49And choosing a partner based on those superficial things is a recipe for heartbreak.
05:54You don't even know what you're talking about.
05:56Remember I dumped you?
05:58You're clearly just as lonely as I am.
06:00No, actually, I'm not so lonely.
06:02I married the most amazing woman.
06:06Yeah, well, she's probably super ugly.
06:08Are you ready to go, baby?
06:12The valet just pulled up the car.
06:14I'll meet you at the car.
06:15Okay, my love?
06:16That's your wife?
06:20How?
06:21How?
06:22We met on a blind date, and we've been inseparable ever since.
06:26You see, it's not what's on the outside that matters.
06:30It's what's on the inside that truly counts.
06:33Consider what I'm saying.
06:34After all, looks fade, but love, true love for what's inside someone's heart,
06:41that's the stuff that never fades.
06:43Are you okay?
06:54What happened?
06:55I'm most certainly not okay.
06:58Your poor services forced me to take drastic measures just to get your attention.
07:03You did this on purpose?
07:05It worked, didn't it?
07:07Uh, Miss, that is completely inappropriate.
07:11Are you talking back to the customer?
07:13Wow.
07:14You know what?
07:15I'm done with you.
07:17Go get your manager now.
07:21There's no need for that.
07:22I apologize.
07:24It's a busy night, and we're short-staffed.
07:27I don't want to hear your excuses.
07:29I want to speak with your manager.
07:32You can't.
07:33He's not here tonight.
07:35I'm the shift manager, so if you have a complaint, I'm the one to talk to.
07:40Unbelievable.
07:42You better get your act together.
07:44Tonight is crucial for me.
07:46I have a huge interview for my dream job, and I will not allow your poor services
07:52to make a bad impression on my future boss.
07:55Do you understand me?
07:58Good.
08:01You can start by getting new place settings with clean silverware.
08:08These have been on the ground.
08:14Thank you so much for meeting me here, Mr. Norris.
08:17I've been looking forward to this all week.
08:20Of course.
08:22It's my pleasure.
08:23Your resume is very impressive.
08:26Sounds to me you've already decided to give me the job.
08:31Perhaps.
08:32But let's see how tonight goes.
08:34You see, I'm looking for someone I can depend on to lead my development team in the right way.
08:39I'm not just looking for a talented computer engineer, but a leader who understands how to get the most out of their people.
08:49Can't you see that you're interrupting our meeting?
08:53Oh, I'm so sorry.
08:54Uh-uh!
08:55That wasn't an invitation for you to keep interrupting.
09:00Hurry up and set the table already.
09:02I am so sorry about the service here, Mr. Norris.
09:06The reviews were great, but she's been a nightmare.
09:10As I was saying, I'm looking for a specific type of person to fill this position.
09:17And I am more than confident that I'm that person.
09:21Hmm.
09:22Okay.
09:24Let's say one of your engineers identifies a critical security vulnerability in a software component that's already deployed for production.
09:34How would you manage that situation?
09:38First, I would prioritize containment to limit the impact on other systems and code.
09:45Then, I would coordinate with my security team and develop a patch.
09:50Hmm.
09:51That's an excellent strategy.
09:53I know.
09:54Like I said, I'm perfect for the job.
09:57Alright.
09:58Imagine your team is experiencing performance issues with a high-traffic web application.
10:04How would you go about diagnosing and resolving that performance issue?
10:09Well...
10:11Um...
10:12Let me think about that.
10:16Um...
10:17If it were me, I would start by using a profile tool.
10:21Something like J-Profiler or maybe your kit to identify any bottlenecks.
10:27Uh, such as CPU usage, memory leaks, uh, network latency...
10:33What did I just say about interrupting?
10:36Can you stay out of our business?
10:38Yeah?
10:39Wait, wait, wait, please.
10:41How did you know that?
10:43Um...
10:44I actually went to MIT for computer engineering.
10:47You did?
10:48You did?
10:50Well...
10:51What are you doing waiting tables for a living?
10:54I'm so sorry.
10:56I did not mean any offense with that.
10:59No, no, it's okay.
11:00It's not you.
11:01Um...
11:04Uh...
11:05My parents actually died in a car accident my senior year.
11:11So...
11:13I, uh, dropped out and moved home to take care of my little brother.
11:18He's autistic and he needed me so I couldn't say no.
11:22I put my dreams on hold.
11:24And I've, uh, been working three jobs ever since to, uh, make ends meet.
11:31That sounds tough.
11:32It can be.
11:34But my brother is worth it.
11:36Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
11:39Blah, you know, you're like a little dog who doesn't know when to shut up.
11:45Mr. Norris here was just being polite.
11:48Nobody wants to hear your sob story, okay?
11:51Uh...
11:52You're right.
11:53I am so sorry.
11:54How about I take your order?
11:56Finally!
11:57It's about time you did your job.
11:59I will take the cop salad.
12:02Uh, and, uh, um, I'll have the, uh, the steak sandwich, please.
12:07Of course.
12:09You know what I'm saying?
12:10Total nightmare.
12:11I...
12:13I'm so sorry about her, Mr. Norris.
12:15It's fine.
12:16Let's just, um, get back to the interview.
12:20How would you, um, describe your management style?
12:24I'm a take charge kind of woman, Mr. Norris.
12:28It's as special as that.
12:29I rule with an iron fist.
12:31It's the only way to keep your team in line and on schedule.
12:35Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:41What did I do?
12:42Hey!
12:43It's okay.
12:44It's okay.
12:45Mistakes happen.
12:46Look, it's your first week.
12:49Everyone drops a tray their first week.
12:51I know I did.
12:53I, I, I just, I didn't know what I was doing.
12:56It's fine.
12:57Here, just remember to put the heavier dishes on the center of the tray.
13:00It'll help keep it balanced.
13:02Here, I'll clean this up.
13:04You go take a minute in the back and then help Jorge at the bar.
13:07You're fine.
13:08Go ahead.
13:09Thanks, Jodie.
13:14She lets him take a break and cleans up after him.
13:18See, that's the kind of hand-holding that gets the worst performance out of your team.
13:24And that, Mr. Norris, is why I run a tight ship.
13:29I protect your bottom line, not my team's feelings.
13:34Hmm.
13:36And so, uh, what would you have done in that situation?
13:40I would have read him the right act.
13:42Right here in front of everyone.
13:44You know, there's no greater teacher than public humiliation.
13:48He'd never drop another tray again.
13:50That much, I promise.
13:52Really?
13:53Is that the kind of culture you want to foster?
13:56Absolutely.
13:57I demand excellence from my team, and I expect nothing less.
14:03I expect nothing less.
14:07Alright, if you need anything else, just let me know.
14:09Um, you need to take this back.
14:10Is there a problem with the food?
14:13I changed my mind.
14:15That steak looks amazing.
14:17I want that instead.
14:19Uh, sure.
14:20I can get that for you.
14:22Um, I will still have to charge you for the salad, though.
14:26What?
14:27I didn't even touch it.
14:29Uh, it's just that I can't resell it.
14:39Why would you do that?
14:40Because the customer is always right.
14:44Something you clearly have never learned.
14:47Oh, no.
14:49Oh, no, no.
14:50Thank you, sir.
14:51Um, don't do that.
14:53I can clean it up.
14:54Yeah.
14:55It's her job, Mr. Norris.
14:57Please.
14:58I insist.
15:00I'm terribly sorry about this.
15:02This is going right to help.
15:05What are you doing?
15:06Leaving you a zero-star review.
15:08That's what I'm doing.
15:10Your service has been horrific the entire night.
15:14And the world deserves to know.
15:16No, please wait.
15:18Please don't do that.
15:20I need this job.
15:21My brother depends on me.
15:23Aww.
15:24Like I said before,
15:26no one cares about your sob story, sweetheart.
15:30Least of all me.
15:31There.
15:35Done.
15:36Oh, my God.
15:39Are you really going to cry?
15:42What a loser.
15:44Okay, that's enough.
15:46I have never met anyone as rude and despicable as you.
15:49This interview is over.
15:51Wait.
15:52Does that mean I don't have the job?
15:56Are you kidding?
15:58I would never hire someone like you in a million years.
16:01You're a train wreck, lady.
16:03A good leader doesn't rule by fear and intimidation.
16:07A good leader is humble, respectful, compassionate.
16:10Think about this, William.
16:13I need this job, but you need me.
16:17Psst.
16:18It's true, and we both know it.
16:21I did my research,
16:22and I know that you've rejected every single candidate you've met with,
16:26and the board of directors are expecting you to fill this position before the shareholders meeting on Tuesday.
16:33Ha!
16:34That may have been true before this meeting,
16:37but I've already found someone to fill this position who's way more qualified than you.
16:42Who?
16:43Her.
16:45Jody.
16:46What?
16:48Are you serious?
16:50Yep.
16:51You'll be in charge of 12 engineers.
16:53It comes with a six-figure salary, with benefits and perks.
16:58But you can't hire her!
16:59She's a waitress!
17:01So what?
17:02She's trained and knowledgeable in the field.
17:06And more importantly,
17:08she's the leader I need.
17:10Someone who leads with compassion.
17:13Someone who is not just concerned about her own self,
17:17but prioritizes the well-being of her team.
17:23So?
17:24What do you say?
17:27What if she's right?
17:34What if I'm not qualified?
17:36Are you kidding?
17:38From what I've seen tonight,
17:40you're the most qualified person I've met.
17:45Thank you, Mr. Norris.
17:47You have no idea what this means to me.
17:49I won't let you down.
17:51Perfect.
17:53We'll discuss the details after your shift.
17:55Here's my card.
17:57This is outrageous!
18:00I have never been more humiliated in my entire life!
18:07Are you okay?
18:08Unhand me!
18:12You imbeciles!
18:27No, of course, I will be 23 billionooo!
18:42It's not过 even water!
18:44Do you not of thought an all-time嗎?
18:46But the.......
